Breville Barista Express Questions & Answers (page 2 of 30)

Hi,

I have recently purchased a Breville BES870. It apparently works normally, but after finishing an espresso extraction, it makes a gurgling noise that lasts about 20 to 30 seconds. Is this noise normal?

Thanks in advance!

Why does my machine not go past "pre infusion"? Our machine is 7 mths oI'd. It has done this off and on since we purchased it.
Please help us. Thank you.

My pressure gauge needle moves midway into the grey zone then after just a few seconds there is a "pop" sound like a valve has opened the needle drops back to zero while the water continues to flow resulting in a poor result, I'm thinking it may be a faulty pressure relief valve, has anyone else had this problem? The machine is a Breville Express BES870

Sometimes my steam function turns off before milk is hot enough. Why is this? I can restart it but curious if this is intentional?

Is this machine a dual boiler please ?

When I am attempting to froth the cream with the steam wand everything starts out fine, pump starts up and the steam is coming out strong. But after a few seconds the pumping stops and the steam dies down. I have to restart the steamer switch by turning to standby and then back to steam again before it will start shooting steam again. It’s taking way too long to get the cream/milk to froth. Any ideas what could be the reason? I have had the machine only a month a a half. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Hi i have a couple of question.
1) my.mc when turning On after while the power trip?
2) Restart again then no tripping occur. Boiler starts heating up after a while try pull shot but no water came out. There is a sound when press the single shot button. Seems like the pump not extracting water.

Could you advise? Thanks in advamce

The grinder stopped working. It didn’t jam and the grinder is clean. The hopper is properly seated too. But when the porta filter switch is depressed nothing happens. Which has me depressed too. Any help?

How do I fix low pressure

When extracting coffee the water just keeps running. I have to turn it off manually as it doesn’t stop automatically.

Our coffee extraction was perfect(25-30seconds) until we changed Our beans to Vittoria. I have put it to the finest setting(1) already and it still extracts 18-20 seconds. And the grind amount is already filled up to the basket. Please help :(

When start steaming, the machine makes a tap tap sound (like hammer). Is it normal? how I can avoid it? I just buy it for 2 days.

I have a second hand breville BES860 and the grinder button has started just turning on and off on its own. Has any one else struck this? I've tried compressed air and food safe spray lube but no dice.

Are you able to adjust the cup height? Coffee and/or water splash in and around the cups

I bought this machine for Christmas for the family. I have owned and operated 4 breville coffee machines over the post 15 years and they have always been brillant. This one the pressure gauge needle does not move. Not at all. Is it faulty?

Just purchased a Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, Black Sesame, BES870BKS, the pressure gauge does not move when expressing the coffee.

Hi there my Brista Express in stainless steel is rusting and it is just 2 months old, any recommendations? Thanks

Im trying to get my expression shot in the espresso range for a double shot cup, and Ive tried many combos of grind/grind amount and the pressure gauge is barley moving, ive tried the most common one course 4/5 grind amount 11 o clock 1 o clock still nothing any tips, Im using Victoria coffee

I have a Breville BES820
I now need to physically hold/turn the steam function dial hard left to get it to work.
Suggestions please. Thanks

My BES 860 has worked well but lately I can only get one shot from the machine, then it won't pressure up and the steam wand seems to be less effective. Sometimes it won't even do one shot. It seems to be affected by the temperature, once it heats up no pressure, but straight from cold, there is pressure, once the temperature is up to correct level (the buttons work). So, my wife gets the one shot a day it will give me, I miss out! Doesn't seem to be related to grind size, has been cleaned with both vinegar and the tablet. When I get no pressure, hot water goes straight to the collection tray, with just a little into the coffee. Any suggestions? (had a new pump installed no long ago)
